Dear Cherry Creek Schools Community,
Today is the seventh day in a row that the
district COVID Tracker dashboard has posted a “red zone” rating, indicating
that the virus is becoming significantly more widespread in the community. I
have said on multiple occasions – and it is stated directly on our dashboard –
that we are monitoring the data for a sustained 7-14 day trend.
We are close to reaching a level of concern that
would cause us to make a switch from In-Person learning to Remote learning. In
my conversations with public health officials, it appears this surge in COVID
cases is going to continue to rise in the coming days and weeks. Therefore, I
am asking teachers to ensure students take home schoolwork and supplies this
week, in the event I make a call to switch to Remote learning.
I will continue to watch the data and may need
to make a decision this week. My number one priority is always the health and
safety of students, staff, families and community.
If there is a decision to switch to Remote learning,
we will communicate all details about the transition as soon as possible. In
the meantime, you can read about the Remote learning plan and view
the schedule here. Please note, if the district makes a switch to Remote
learning, it will not impact the schedule for K-12 Online learning students.
Please continue to follow health safety
protocols, such as frequent hand washing, wearing a mask, watching your
distance, avoiding large gathering and keeping students home from school if
they are sick, or if anyone from the household is experiencing COVID symptoms
or awaiting the outcome of a COVID test.
Thank you for your partnership in keeping
students and staff safe.
Sincerely,
Scott A. Siegfried, Ph.D.
Superintendent
